2 3D modeling of large-scale architectural structures with multiple robots goal was to develop an automatic 3-D laser measurement system of an environmental structure using the cooperation of multiple mobile robots. Classification of vehicles using a laser range finder goal was to develop a system to identify in real time the kind of the vehicles (car, bike, bus ) and in the special case of buses to read the company name. Target tracking using laser range finders goal was to develop a system to track multiple people with distributed laser range finders and cameras. 3D reconstruction of a femoral shape using 2D fluoroscopic images Research was undertaken at Kyushu University in collaboration with Prof. Sato at Osaka University. The goal was to develop a system to reconstruct precise 3D shapes of living organisms or bones from a few conventional 2D fluoroscopic images. Fast 2D-3D Registration for Navigation System of Surgical Robot Graduate student researcher, Kyushu University goal was to superimpose a tumor model on an endoscopic image precisely. 2D-3D alignment based on geometrical consistency Graduate student researcher, Kyushu University Research was undertaken at Kyushu University with Prof. Hara. The goal was to develop a system to align a 3D geometrical model to a 2D image, which is robust for initial registration errors, for reconstructing a realistic 3D model of indoor scene settings. Motion capture system using multiple cameras Graduate student researcher, Kyushu University goal was to reconstruct 3D models of multiple people in real-time. In this system the Fast Level Set Method was applied to stereo range data captured by multiple stereo cameras.
